A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

A process or thread crucial to your system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced start up options and then select Safe Mode.

Did you try googling the codes, or check with M$ for definitions? I saw this message on a two year old Dell once and it went away after a reboot, then again I saw it on my machine just before the hdd failed.

Family and loved ones will always be a priority in my daily life. You never know when one will leave you.

It's an old computer, it started doing it a while ago. Then we bought a new computer cuase we didnt feel like dealing with the problem. Now I would like to fix it for an office computer. When I say often I mean pretty much everytime I turn on the computer. I can be doing anything from typing in word pad to browsing the web, the inside of the computer beeps a couple times, then it freezes for a sec, then goes right to the blue error screen.

go there, download the "iso" version, scroll down a bit to get it. open the downloaded "iso" image with nero or another burning program, burn it to cd, then rfeboot your computer and boot to this. this will test your memory, (ram).i would suggest you check out the name of your hard drive too, and then go to this link, this will tell where to go, and how to use the hard drive diagnostic tool.
